Last weekend was pretty pleasant all round. Friday night was pretty quiet - Stu was in Melbourne on a training course so me and Jerry Cat just had a little bit of quiet sofa time. On Saturday I went over to one of the girls' houses for a girls night in, which was really really nice. We ate takeaway, drank white wine, watched the Take That dvd, and the evening was rounded off with falling asleep on the sofa watching top gun (so I'm told). It was really nice.
On Sunday Stu took me out for a bit of a special surprise treat day as I have been a bit of a grumpy knickers lately for some reason. First stop was the Organic farmer's market that we have never been able to get to before due to lack of transport. We got there a little late and they were mostly packing away, but being mad old hippy foodies we still got excited! Then we went off to a big factory outlet by the airport to do some shopping (although I have a sneaking suspicion this treat was more to save stu's sanity as I have been moaning about my clothes - or lack thereof - for some time now). Then we went off to the Glass House Mountains, just north of Brisbane (near Australia Zoo fact fans). They were very pretty indeed, and we had a nice nosey round the lookout - photos below. So a very pleasant weekend all in all. Going to have to have a few quiet ones in the coming weeks - we have Stu's work xmas do coming up which finishes up at the casino and may cost a penny or two... also we are planning a big Fakemas celebration for all our pommie friends on the 15th December, as everyone is going to be a bit scattered for actual christmas, so we have to buy a turkey big enough to feed 14 people.... could be a bit pricey!

The cat (or little Lord Fauntleroy as he shall henceforth be known) has had diarrhea for the last month or so bless him, and the vet - would you believe - has prescribed a diet of steak and steak only for the next week to clear out his system. Stu is very jealous, and rightly points out that he never gets steak. I won't even tell you what the butcher said when I asked him for a kilo of his cheapest steak for my cat... it seems to be doing him some good, although I am a bit worried that we are setting a precedent, and his kibbles won't be very appealing when he goes back to them...
In some sad news though, the Japanese whaling fleet set off on Monday to travel down to Antarctica for the 'scientific harvest' of 1000 whales, including 50 of the endangered humpbacks that Stu and I had such a lovely trip out to see just off the coast here in August. I have therefore changed campaign of the week, and beg you please please please to take action. I can't tell you how sad I am about this. If you need reminding how gorgeous they are....
